## Commentary

In his imposing depiction of the Sonnblick mountain, including a rushing waterfall and Kolm Saigurn, Loos convincingly demonstrates the elementary nature of high-Alpine areas and the natural forces active within them. Loos&#39; manner shows him to be a pioneer of realistic landscape painting. However, traditional Baroque foreground scenery with romanticising staffage figures leads into the heroically idealised expansive pictorial composition.
